GERMAN EMIGRATION.

The Vast Teutooic Exodus to the United
states OF America.
The vast emigration from Germany
in modern years and ID causes are now
commonplaces of contemporary history.

upon the innate force and healthy
stamina of the breed. its domestic family

emigration are not quite satisfactory.

their German nationality. 1t is thus

An Experiment in Photography.

Inc bromide paper, which was first
SHOWN at the Chicago convention of the
photographers of the United States in
1888, IS still merely an experiment. but il
has greatly hurt the business Of crayon
artists whose speciality was portrait
making This injury has been done. not
by the superiority Of the bromide process
over free hand drawing, but by the cheap-
ness OF these bromide pictures. and CHEAP
ness seems 70 be the one quality that
recommends bromide portraits 10 the
general public. People know so little
about cost, or what constitutes n cool
picture, that they can gauge their an
probation simply by the price. Bromide
portraits are made the same as ordinary
Photographic negatives. The paper is
coated with gelatine and the impression

summer Drink. in Mexico City.

ssWhat a rendezvous for Ali Bahia and
the Forty ThievesI' was the exclamation
of Charles Dudley Warner one day last
year as we halted before booth for the
sale Of summer drinks, in which stood
perhaps half dozen tall red jars correct
in shape end smoothly polished, in either
of which the two of Us could have been
bestowed without crowding. And, by
the way, those same refreshment stands
are quite an institution, and it is my con-
viction that the establishment of similar
ones would prove profitable investment
in the large cities of the United States.
Here they are usually ranged around the
plaza, and they consist Of a square Or
oblong space, rooted in with boards or
canvas, and gayly decorated with flags,
ETC. Within they contain small tables
and Chairs, and the aforesaid elias, large
and small. which contain the aquas fres-
cas-, or cooling waters, while at one side
are huddled the women engaged in their
preparation.
At these stands are sold not spirituous
liquors, but lemonade, orangeade. drinks
prepared from banana, pineapple and
other tropical fruits, including one very
peculiar family of several varieties, which
is of orchidaceous growth, orgeats, CHA,
chicha and divers other Of similar nature.
The horchata, or orgeat, is made from
muskrnelon seeds. These are always care
fully saved when the fruit is eaten,
cleansed, dried and, when the occasion
arrives, ground on the metate stone at the
booths as aforesaid; then, with the addi-
ton of sugar, ETC., it becomes O most
palatable potion. CHA is q small gray seed,
hardly larger than a mustard seed, which,
On being slightly covered with water, dis
charges a nlucnaginous substance, which,
oddly enough, is not produced to the same
extent if the quantity of water be
large. When the jelly like consistency is
reached more water is added, with sugar
and any flavor desired.
When DR.. Bryant used to be surgeon
on one Of the Pacific Mail company's
steamers he occasionally took up packet
Of CHA to q gentleman now well known
socially and politically in California, and
this parsonage, lately wishing to obtain
that beverage again after the lapse Of
years, described it to his interlocutor as
THAT drink that the Mexicans make of
little seeds, you knOw-that is like slip
perry elm poultice." Such a comparison
would hardly recommend the CHA, which
is really delicious. Chicha is made from
corn, arrived at a certain stage of fermen-
tation, and the juice of pineapple. In adj
dition to their cooling properties all these
beverages have elements of nutrition

Gen. Grant Refnsed VIM.

Let US take a few facts: When travel
ing in India he was surrounded with
social customs, to disregard which re-
CURED the strongest will and the firmest
purpose. Not few foreign residents in
the east GRO hard drinkers. There were
not hours enough in the day for Grant to
accept the invitations he received. To be
courteous he not infrequently accepted in
vitations to half dozen tifins on the
same day, at each one Of which he would
remain few moments, until the last one
had been reached. At all these gather
1ngs wines and liquors were freely used
He became SO thoroughly disguised with
the custom that on his return to his hotel
he said to his wife: "Julia, do not in
tend to take another glass of wine to
please anybody" That was in 1878, and
from that time forward to Mount Nc
Gregor bis temperance habits were above
suspicion.
From Calcutta he won't to Bufmah.
Tho reception committee furnished large
baskets of chanpagnes and liquors. These
were subject to Grants orders. To the
disappointment and disgust Of the COM
mlttes the baskets We're not opened. Sur
prise was expressed; but Grant simply
SAID: Gentlemen, DO not wish anything
to drink" and the baskets were returned
unopened to Calcutta. I received accounts
OF this incident from Gen. Litchneld, late
consul general to India, and from Mrs.
Grant.
After Grant reached California his old
friends were the witnesses Of this new
proof OF his personal decision. While in
the City Of Mexico his enthusiastic id
mirers invited him TO what is called "a
VINE dinner. Bishop Harris was pres
ent, and he informed me that Gen. Grant |

"His eyes have your very expression,
The color Of yours, too, she cried.
'His mouth, dear, ron cannot deny it,

"His firm little chin and his forehead

New Uses for the Shoe Rrttouer.

1t IS q singular fact that nine out of ten
Oh the buns and tramps brought into the
station house have on their person a shoe
buttoner. No matter what kind of shoes
they wear, still they have one of these
simple instruments. Lieut. Handbook

OF the shoe buttoners taken from the
prisoners brought into Bremen street
station In the seven days they numbered
eighteen, and Ike young ladies do with
their strings OF buttons, he attached them
together. He has now a chain some
three feet ID length. 4 peculiar thing is
that the hook end is bent into a variety of
shapes. The penehant for having button

some bright minded policeman that

The grass blades clash in sunny field together,
The roses kissing, and the lily, whether
It laugh or sigh low in the summers ear,
The jewel dew bells of the mead ring clear
When mornings nearing the sweet June weather
The focked hours winging, feather unto feather
The last leaf wall at waning Of the yeer.
Methinks from these we catch passing song

sanction, and in an underhanded way
taken the brand-name of my celebrated

for his goods on the widespread reputa-
ton my Original White Rose Cigars
have achieved in a period Of four years.

in the public mind, I take this method
of notification and leave the rest to your
